• DOMINIONS’ DELEGATES. AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND. EXPRESSION OF VIEWS. (By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.> Received June 25, Noon. LONDON, Juno 24. Speaking at the World Migration Congress, Mr Kitson (Australia) said that Australia did not object to European migrants so long as they could be absorbed without detriment to the workers already,there. The Australian standard of living was equal to anything in the world, and they were determined to maintain it.
Mr Wilson (New Zealand) suggested that the proposed migration office bo merged in tne International Labour Office at Geneva with branches in every coVmtry containing adequate trades union representation. New Zealand’s objections to wholesale migration were based solely on social and racial grounds and applied equally to Europeans and people of the Eastern races.— Sydney Sun cable.
